CEO @ MADPANDA3D 🐼 | Marine Corps Veteran 🇺🇸 | Development Professional 💻 | Cybersecurity Student 🔐 | Hollywood, FL native

I'm Leo Lara, founder and CEO of MADPANDA3D and the architect behind production systems that blend AI, automation, and full-stack engineering. As a Marine Corps veteran, I bring mission-critical discipline to every project. I built my career in Telecom—specializing in networking and break-fix repair—and now operate as a solo developer supercharged by AI agents, delivering enterprise-grade applications with the speed and agility of a startup. Currently pursuing Cybersecurity studies to deepen my expertise in secure system design. I'm from Hollywood, FL, and some of my passions include designing systems that solve real-world problems and helping veterans in any way I can.

My unique development approach combines deep technical expertise with a powerful AI-assisted workflow, enabling me to architect and deliver complete, production-ready systems across the full stack—from pixel-perfect React frontends to Docker-deployed infrastructure with live hosted endpoints.

I don't just write code—I ship production systems that are automated, intelligent, and ready for real users. My work spans the entire development lifecycle, from initial architecture to deployment and ongoing operations.
